String Art and Sips: Your Next Creative Night Out

Hilo Fiber Bar, located in Philadelphia, offers a fresh twist on the popular creative workshop concept. Instead of traditional paint and sip classes, this unique studio focuses on the art of “sip and strings,” where guests create their own DIY string art. It provides a welcoming and warm environment intended as a destressing, creative outlet for anyone looking for an alternative to a typical night out.

The studio, which is BYOB (Bring Your Own Beverage), provides all the necessary supplies for crafting your masterpiece. Customers are equipped with wood canvases, nails, hammers, and a variety of colored yarn to weave intricate geometric patterns. The art form involves weaving the fiber between hammered nails to bring images to life on the wooden surface.

Guests can book either an open group class, which typically lasts around two and a half hours, or a private session, which runs slightly longer. The venue aims to foster a creative and supportive atmosphere, including supporting women in the woodworking industry. Hilo Fiber Bar is presented as a hidden gem in the city that offers a memorable and hands-on experience perfect for a date night or a fun outing with friends.
